Ask your kids, “What are some things you wished we did more together?”
It’s the intentional time spent with our children day-to-day that makes a lasting impact.
It might be difficult to always find time but it’s tremendously meaningful and important for our kids.

“Long-term consistency beats short-term intensity.”
This is what truly successful people excel at — staying committed when they get bored, lonely, unmotivated, or discouraged.

“It’s okay to scale back certain things in our lives for this season in order to upscale our intentional influence and investment into our kids.”
“Don’t wait until you’re looking back in the rearview mirror wishing you’d have done some things differently and changed your focus.”
Challenging question I read this morning from @AndrewLinder:
"What can I give up while my kids are still kids to make the biggest and longest-lasting possible impact in the short time that I've been given?"

Your children will follow your example, not just your opinion.
Making an impact in our own homes can be toughest of all because it takes the most effort and consistency.
@PastorRyanM@johnbtyler I think it’s obvious... he said, “it bugs me to no end when ppl seemingly give credit to denominational affiliations”
Many want to chalk it up to methodology and not to the work of the Gospel.
Reminders to help us cultivate a spirit of contentment:
- Stop complaining
- Change your perspective
- Be thankful
- Don’t compare
- Put people before things
- Focus on today
- Savor the little things
